text: Remote | BlueCode Systems<p>I lead a software development team made up of NOT very experienced software developers that I want trained on some very specific topics.<p>- The trainings will be over Google Meet&#x2F;Zoom and recorded so we can reuse them.<p>- Lessons will be over a number of hours say 5-10 hours each and delivered over a couple of days.<p>- Of course we can find similar content online, but we want lessons specific to what work we are doing and using examples from our codebases and using challenges we are facing.<p>- Lessons will be very interactive and expect questions.<p>Topics<p>Superset - setup, configuration and definition of graphs including some lesson on queries.<p>Git and GitHub - Day to day use, advanced usage and how to unscrew oneself. Suggest other topics.<p>Debugging - Especially around Java&#x2F;Android. Tools and methods<p>Budget
Our total budget is about $5000 and can be broken up across different trainers if needed.<p>To apply: Send resume and some example&#x2F;proof of why you are the best fit for the particular training topic. We need deeply experienced people, not someone who will just Google things.<p>Application email: jobs@bluecodeltd.com with title: &quot;Training&quot;

text: REMOTE (but we&#x27;re in the Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA area)<p>Impact Upgrade is a software engineering and consulting company that solely focuses on nonprofit organizations and for-good businesses.<p>We&#x27;re releasing a product called Nonprofit Nucleus, which is our automation engine for nonprofit processes. Think of it a little like Zapier in that it handles integrations between platforms, but the capabilities go way beyond that. We provide all the best-practice business logic for various types of flows that are often needed in nonprofit operations.<p>The core framework is in place, as are many of the primary use cases -- all in Java. But we have a steady stream of new features to add and&#x2F;or new platforms to integrate with. I&#x27;d love having help with that. It&#x27;d be a fair amount of prototyping work, but then ultimately baking the concepts right into Nucleus and working through integration tests. We&#x27;re also diving deep into scaling and hardening, so we could use help with instrumentation, fault tolerance, durable queuing, etc.<p>Nucleus also has a Portal&#x2F;UI provided on top of it, currently built with Python, Django, and bits of JS. New features often require some front-end work if controls are needed.<p>In addition to all that, we continue to have unique projects pop up, usually backend heavy or full-stack web apps. However, we normally try to stick to similar stacks: Java&#x2F;Kotlin, Python + Django, simple JS, PHP on rare occasions, and we&#x27;re ok with node.js.<p>We&#x27;re looking for agencies or groups that could work with us regularly. We currently have enough work that I could keep them busy on at least a part time basis.<p>(That&#x27;s a full-time hire listing we made a while back.
